There was a time when we'd say, this is the 20th century, we should have better. Now we say, this is the 21st century, we should have better.
We're fast heading to the middle of the 21st, and you still need a flipping can opener to open a tin of tuna fish!
Coca-Cola and Pepsi figured it out in the 1960s!!

Damn you Derek, yet again you've made me spend 20mins on a Google..... Mmmm I wonder when corned beef cans started having keys
No idea, but I did find out corned beef cans are the shape they are so the big end slots over the small end to keep it fresh (for soldiers apparently). I just want a corned beef sandwich now, maybe corned beef fritters and chips ....mmmmm.You've just reminded me, I forgot to buy some bacon grill in a tin.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Sat Oct 08, 2022 6:55 pmDamn you Derek, yet again you've made me spend 20mins on a Google.....

The thing I liked about corned beef tins is that they didn't simply have a ring pull. It came with a tool that you insert into a slot and twist, so you felt as though you were doing something technical.

Are Microsoft so stupid they don't realise people don't place all files they get from the internet into a folder called "download" folder, so you won't find your files in the download folder if you clear your download history, you'll find them wherever you flipping downloaded them!!
A man chucks acid in a woman's face causing blindness in one eye, receives a life sentence but is allowed out after six years on condition that he doesn't bugger off. What does he do? He buggers off to another country to avoid the risk of going back to prison, who would ever have thought of that???
No worries though, we've got Truss running the country. Despite nearly crashing the economy and needing the BoE to counter the actions of her chancellor, implementing tax and spending reductions, they intend to have an extra 20,000 police officers.
I haven't heard anything about the prison service but I'm sure they'll find enough efficiency savings to reduce funding but at the same time build more prisons, lock up more criminals and reduce crime, and have palm trees all the way along the south coast.

Probably even easier if you didn't have to say what it was before you buy pretty much anything. Watch out at Tescos they'll want a quick look in your trousers before you buy your beers. It's more who gives a fuck than wtf
So they should! I once took a suitcase on wheels into ASDA to fill it with beer, and a young bird came up to me and just opened my suitcase without even asking, to inspect its contents. I immediately thought, why didn't she just open my trousers and stick her hand down it in case I had a hidden can of beer?ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 3:45 amProbably even easier if you didn't have to say what it was before you buy pretty much anything.
